Writing a HDR thesis is a major project that requires clear structural planning and a sound understanding of how the components of a thesis fit together.

This workshop will clarify what content belongs in a thesis and how that content should be organised to form a coherent, defensible research narrative. The focus is on structural decisions rather than writing techniques.
In this session, you will learn:
- The structural elements examiners expect to see — and common structural issues that lead to examiner concerns.
- How to position and articulate the thesis’s central claim or contribution within the overall structure.
- Protocols for determining what content should be included, where it fits, and what should be left out.
- How arguments are organised across chapters to build a logical, cohesive thesis structure.
- How to map or blueprint a whole‑thesis structure that supports a clear research narrative.
Ideal for candidates seeking clarity on thesis architecture and the principles that underpin a strong, examinable structure.
